Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Thank you sharanam:) sharanam: Jiun Onkō (1718-1804)Aphorism beginning with the character for “person”Hanging scroll; ink on paper34.9 x 54.7 (13 3/4 x 21 1/2)Private Collection, HyōgoThe large character that dominates this calligraphic work means “person” (hito). In its form, suggesting a walking figure, it is close to the original pictograph. Jiun used a large stiff brush, creating uneven streaks on the upper edge of each of the two strokes. The work abounds with energy, making it instantly recognizable as Jiun’s. The power of the large character is only strengthened by the relatively subdued and austere style of the rest of the verse: Each of us must become a true persononce we have become this personwe become kami, we become Buddha From Edo: Art in Japan 1615-1868 (Yale University Press) …which I happily discovered after way too long in storage (a decade maybe?)…
